The anchovy is a small, bony, schooling fish that lives in the warm waters of the South Atlantic. Imported from Spain, these hand-filleted flat anchovies are perfect for antipasto and salads. Not overly salted like some others we have experienced, Ortiz brand anchovies have a superbly balanced flavor and a subdued aroma.

I've tried them all. From the more expensive ones to the grocery store type. These are definitely one of the better ones. Not too salty, and the least bony. Sadly, too expensive for the size of can offered here.

Very Good with much less salt

I love salt but its not good for me. These anchovies are the least salted yet taste absolutely great,. I would dare say the best I have ever tasted. Could be had for less $$ elsewhere hence only 4 stars

World's best

I tried these anchovies for the first time yesterday and was blown away. Did a little research online today and found that they are considered to be among the best anchovies in the world. No wonder they were so good.

Anchoas

Very good quality, good taste and texture, they call for some fresh french bread and a good dry Rioja (wine)... you have a good appetizer.

The Chove

these were the best anchovies I've ever had. They were completely whole and firm. They don't break apart getting them out of the jar.

Also perfect for pasta!!

I really enjoyed this product. After receiving the product, I immediately tried two of the anchovies and found them to be simply marvelous. When I next prepared pasta, I am afraid that I ate the remainder of the jar.

He loved it!

I gave these to my boyfriend as a Christmas gift because he loves anchovies. He opened them up and said they were the best anchovies he's ever tasted.
